Price point will be around $1500. It has dual swing outs, one for the tire and one for fuel can, propane or what have you. There are hi-lift jacking points built in as well as a hi-lift mounting point.

Anyone who is going to upgrade and wants to sell their existing trailer hitch I'll buy it. I need a hitch ASAP...was waiting for the bumper but with impending doom (baby on the way) my finances aren't where I'd hoped.

I'm in the market for a rear receiver hitch as well, was waiting for the triple receiver MaxOverdrive had available but haven't heard a thing. If anyone has one of these to get rid of, I'm interested.

Hello parkside,
Can you please provide additional details regarding:
- Shackle points
- Tow hitch
- Max spare tire size
- Total fuel cans
I could see the weight quickly adding up. Assuming three fuel cans will fit on the rack, that is ~65KG (20L per can & weight of can). Then tire + rim(maybe 15KG). What kind of weight is the bumper/tire carrier going to support?
Is this the type of fuel can you were talking about?

Fitting wo of these puppies side by side (upright, long facing front to back) in a basket.
They are scepter military issues diesel specific fuel cans. They are made in Canada and only available to canucks and can/us military.
I got them from DS tactical in New West. As far as I know, they are the only outfit selling them to public although I may be wrong.
Pretty much bomb proof, but they are not cheap. $60 a pop + $35 for a heavy duty spout.

Hi Maw,
The bumper will MORE than be able to support the weight. What sort of info are you looking for regarding the hitch and shackle points?

Nice pictures, it is looking good. I wanted to know if a tow hitch was being included or not. Your pics answered that question. ;) I am looking forward to seeing the final product.
